I believe that compassion and collaboration are key to a therapuetic relationship. Through the identification of each persons strengths and resources we are all capable of navigating life's challenges and it is my role to assist in the identification and effective utilization of these strengths and resources. If you are suffering from with ADHD, Depression, Conduct Disorder, Parenting issues, Criminal Behavior, adult and adolescent Bi-polar Disorder, addiction, or the effects of trauma, neglect, and abuse please contact me by text, phone or email at 831-588-7063. I have helped many individuals, couples, and families and perhaps I can help you.
I use a range of theoretical approaches such as CBT, DBT, Gestalt, existential/humanistic, all depending on the individual I am working with and what makes sense to them. Having worked with individuals from ages 6 up through adulthood I understand the need for matching services to each individual.
I am a certified HeartMath practitioner and have seen results utilizing this form of biofeedback on several different anxiety based disorders. I also offer EMDR which is a APA proven therapeutic tool for resolving past trauma and the resulting issues such as PTSD, depression, anxiety and bad memories.
